Fourteen-year-old Tayler Jensen of Fort Collins might just be the cutest vegan alive. And that's not a matter of speaking—it's an official title.

Jensen was named a finalist in peta2's "Cutest Vegan Alive" ninth annual contest. Now she competes with 10 other female finalists for the title. A male and female winner get to attend a professional photo shoot and a chance to star in their own peta2 ad.

Peta2, PETA's youth division, will pick winners based on vote count, enthusiasm level and the photo's cuteness. Jensen went vegan as part of a 30-day challenge and never turned back. She's been vegan for two years and founded a club at her school called VegAlliance, which has more than 90 members.

Jensen promotes awareness about animal issues by handing out leaflets at her school. Last year she attended an all-day animal rights conference in Denver. She also urges her classmates to try vegan food.

"Kids who go vegan show respect for animals, the planet, and their own bodies," said peta2 Director Marta Holmberg. "Tayler is determined to make the world a kinder place."
